Hardbopjazz Posted July 17, 2019 Report Posted July 17, 2019 This is a channel that just broadcasts jazz, soul, blues and African music. The advertisement I saw this channel streams what appears to be live concerts. Anyone here a subscriber to this station? https://svod.qwest.tv/f/free-trial?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=LP-conversions&utm_campaign=conversions1 Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted July 17, 2019 Report Posted July 17, 2019 There was a thread Q's jazz channel, that I know I've read/followed somewhere. Not sure if it was here, or on the Hoffman board -- or maybe something on Reddit. Somewhere around the time the channel started streaming, iirc. Quote
JSngry Posted January 13, 2022 Report Posted January 13, 2022 Qwest (jazz and Classical) is now available for free as "live tv" on The Roku Channel, as is all-classaical channel Vivaldi. All three are a bit of a mess as far as seamlessness go, commercials are inserted at random ( and only sometimes logical) intervals, on-screen menus seldom match what's actually on, stuff like that Not content is often quite enjoyable, an on Qwest Jazz, eclectic in a nice way, and pretty diverse in terms of chronology. I've seen everything from Coleman Hawkins to Sun Ra to Kneebody. And Library Mutual commercials aplenty All three channels make nice background tv, especially if!when something comes on that you want to stop and listen to. It looks like they all have monthly programming content that gets staggered throughout the month, so drop in, tune on, and turn off. Bottom line - if you have a Roku already, you have this stuff 24/7 now, for free. God bless America. Quote
JSngry Posted January 15, 2022 Report Posted January 15, 2022 Now watching a really nice concert of Ravi and Anoushka Shankar with group, supposedly done just a few months prior to Ravi's passing. Indian drumming of the type heard here is just sooooi delightful! Quote
JSngry Posted January 15, 2022 Report Posted January 15, 2022 NP: some wildass video of the ,Max Roach pianoless quintet with the Turrentine brothers doing "Bemsha Swing"!!!! Ok, now a video of Music Inc. playing "Lynnsome". Sweet! Quote
